I just don't like these pretty obvious power grabs/status quo-changing acts by management going unchecked by DALPA (and the widget-aid guzzlers).

Do you think the company would stand by idly if we attempted to "fly the contract and only the contract?" Hell no, they'd scream bloody murder and look for a court order to preserve the status quo.

I'd like to see "my" union at least give lip service to fighting the company's latest attempts to run roughshod over the status quo. Preferably before these newly crafted harassment-like policies become the new status quo.

Uniform policies are in the FOM. Not in our contract. It's black and white. We are paid to wear it to the standards Delta requires.

Uniform inspections are a change in the status quo.

Agree?

Uniform inspections and a requirement to make gatehouse PAs every 15 minutes are a change in the status quo.

Agree?

I strongly disagree with this new policy.

Didn't mean for this to become a uniform wear issue... but word has it you'll be sent home if you're not wearing it properly next year. Recently heard about a guy called in for no name tag on his shirt. Times are a changing folks, and if we aren't proactive, it's going to get a lot more challenging just doing our jobs. Get involved and speak up to your reps, they are the ones who need to take the initiative on our behalf.
